must admit dollhouse 1x11 briar rose is a fucking insane piece of television writing
#the dark irony of sending a currently sexually abused and exploited person to be a ray of hope to an equally abused child#but also the parallel between how grown up susan suggests to little susan that the prince was manifested by briar rose to save her#the same way caroline/echo drew the attention of paul and later directly asked him to come help her#as a continuing expression of her own repeated efforts to save and protect not only herself but everyone around her#the incredibly early suggestion by susan telling little susan she was actually briar rose (victim) who grew up into the prince (protector)#that echo and paul are kind of two pieces of the same person. which eventually they. literally are.#i have some issues with how paul is written partly bc i don't think they always made good use of tahmoh peniketts strengths as an actor#like he can do asshole but in his soul he is niceys and kind and supportive and understanding. to me#however the way this relationship is written actually. take my hand 2gether we can read beyond painfully straight 00s gender sensibilities#dollhouse#ultimate soulmates who loved each other so much they literally merged into one person
